Did you seriously not stop and think about all the opponents they play being pretty pissed off they couldnt watch the game on tv when they play them?

Actually I think a TV ban is a better idea now from the standpoint of back when they did tv bans, you only got 3-4 chances a year to be on Tv. Every one of those opportunities were precious to both you and your opponents. Nowadays everyone is on TV almost every week if you are in the Power 5. So you lose one game vs Ole Miss. Big deal. I'll listen to it on the radio. I like Eli Gold so that works for me.

Meanwhile Ole Miss loses every TV opportunity which hurts them both financially and in recruiting. I think it's a good idea again.

Financially it would hurt all of your conference opponents as well, the SEC definitely doesn't want to take that financial hit.

I would say cut their annual payout from the SEC office and distribute that to the other teams in the SEC. That would curb cheating, knowing your opponents get your share of the pie!
